Downing getting played at LB has got me thinking about whether other players could be moved about to be more effictive.

Suarez: Think he'd be good in the attacking midfield role where Gerrards being playing, but slightly higher up the pitch. We know Suarez isn't a natural finisher, so having him at the spear head of our attack doesnt make sense, and Gerrards been fairly ineffective recently. If we put Borini at the top of our attack and have Suarez play off him I think we'll be alot more effective.

Kelly: I think he could be utilised as a defensive midfielder whilst Lucas is out injured. He's solid defensively and decent going forward, plus he seems to be adaptable across defence so why not as a DM?

So we could play:

----------------Reina----------------
Johnson----Agger-----Skrtle---Enrique
---------Allen--------Kelly----------
------------------Suarez-------------
Assaidi------Borini----------Sterling

Then we'd still have Coates, Downing, Gerrard, Sahin, Shelvey and Yesil/Morgan on the bench.

Think that would be a strong team and with a much stronger bench than we had today.

you guys think theres any chance of this happening? or any players you'd like to see tried in different positions?

I like having Kelly playing as a defensive mid however Suarez is no good as an attacking mid he is not a good enough passer. He tends to put his head down in attack and very often misses target players in very good positions for shots, I would play Suarez on the right as a cutter/slasher and have borini as the goal poacher. Suarez and sterling on either side of our attack would be a nightmare for opposing defenders.

Playing jonjo as our attacking mid would be the way to go.

Our team is [oops] and no one knows how to fix it. its like we are jinxed or something. F*cked me off over the whole weekend about the window and then we lost on the weekend because of formation frailties.

We actually need a marquee signing to go in, score goals, and sort [oops] out.

So does that mean you will be moaning constantly until January comes then?

Seems to me that any new formation has to begin with dropping Gerrard?

As much as i hate to say it but maybe dropping Gerrard will help. It won't hurt to try it out for a few games.

I agree he should be given an extended run.

I think there are a number of players that could play as 1 of 2 front men: Gerrard, Shelvey, Assaidi, Cole, Sterling etc . . . even good ole Lucas used to be an attacking midfielder at Gremio!

how about this

allen--------------sahin
-------shelvey----------
sterling gerrard suare

play gerrard in the messi role
